How to Clean Pet Hair

Most Read

I am a dog groomer, and I find that fur and lint get into both sides of the Velcro strips used on pet accessories like collars and muzzles, and on my smocks. How can I clean them?-- Betsy Gibson, Hereford, AZ

To get rid of debris on both the fuzzy and hook sides of the strips, use a stiff toothbrush and brush in one direction (don't rub back and forth). It should come right off, although the hook side may need extra effort. A small crochet hook can be used to pick out any stubborn bits of fur or hair.

These closures will stay cleaner if you keep the two ends together when not in use.
